A convenient method was developed for the synthesis of previously unknown substituted 6,7-dihydro-4H-isothiazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ones based on the three-component condensation of 4-aminoisothiazole hydrochlorides, Meldrum’s acid, and aromatic aldehydes.     

Ferromagnetic resonance and magnetic microstructure in nanocomposite films of Cox(SiO2)1 ? x and (CoFeB)x(SiO2)1 ? x

This paper reports on the results of the investigation of the relation between the magnetic microstructure and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) in ferromagnetic metal-insulator composites by using granular alloys (Co₄₁Fe₃₉B₂₀) _x (SiO₂)_{1 − x} and Co _x (SiO₂)_{1 − x} as an example. A comparative analysis of the properties of FMR spectra and parameters of random magnetic anisotropy leads to correlations between these quantities. It has been found that the main mechanism that determines the FMR line width in the films under investigation is the exchange narrowing mechanism.     

New approach to the synthesis of substituted 7H‐furo[3,2‐b]pyran‐7‐ones based on 5‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl‐4H‐pyran‐4‐one derivatives

A convenient approach to the synthesis of the previously unknown 7H‐furo[3,2‐b]pyran‐7‐ones based on the intramolecular cyclization of carbonyl derivatives of 5‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl‐4H‐pyran‐4‐one has been elaborated. Key intermediates in the synthesis of the target 7H‐furo[3,2‐b]pyran‐7‐ones are 3‐hydroxy‐6‐methyl‐2‐(2‐oxo‐2‐arylethyl)‐4H‐pyran‐4‐ones. They are formed as a result of multicomponent condensation of 5‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl‐4H‐pyran‐4‐one with arylglyoxals and 4‐methoxyaniline.     

Synthesis and properties of dihetaryl-substituted furanones

The reactions of dithienyl-substituted furanones with hydrazines afford the corresponding pyridazinone-bridged dithienylethenes with photochromic properties. The structure of 4,5-bis-(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)-2,6-dimethyl-2H-pyridazin-3-one was established by X-ray diffraction.     

Three-component condensation of 3-aminothiophene-2-carboxylic acid derivatives with aldehydes and Meldrum’s acid

A convenient method was developed for the synthesis of the previously unknown substituted 6,7-dihydro-4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyridin-5-ones based on the three-component condensation of 3-aminothiophenes, Meldrum’s acid, and aromatic aldehydes. 3-Aminothiophenes are easily formed in situ by decarboxylation of 3-aminothiophene-2-carboxylic acids in an acidic medium. Sodium salts of the latter acids were prepared by alkaline hydrolysis of the corresponding available esters.     

Structural and Magnetic Characteristics of Nanogranular Co–Al2O3 Single- and Multilayer Films Formed by the Solid-State Synthesis

The results of structural and magnetic investigations of nanogranular Co–Al₂O₃ films formed from Co₃O₄/Al thin-film layered structures upon vacuum annealing are reported. The Co₃O₄/Al films have been obtained by sequential reactive magnetron sputtering of a metallic cobalt target in a medium consisting of the Ar + O₂ gas mixture and magnetron sputtering of an aluminum target in the pure argon atmosphere. It is shown that such a technique makes it possible to obtain nanogranular Co–Al₂O₃ single- and multilayer thin films with a well-controlled size of magnetic grains and their distribution over the film thickness.

     

Multicomponent one-pot synthesis of novel imidazole-2-thione derivatives containing allomaltol fragment

A convenient method for the synthesis of novel imidazole-2-thione derivatives containing allomaltol fragment was elaborated. This approach includes one-pot multicomponent reaction of allomaltol, arylglyoxals, primary amines followed by addition of alkyl or aryl isothiocyanates. It was shown that the key intermediates of the studied process are substituted α-aminoketones and the corresponding imidazolidine-2-thione. The advantages of this synthesis are mild reaction conditions, atom economy, and easy workup procedure, which can avoid chromatographic purifications. The structures of an intermediate imidazolidine-2-thione and one of the final imidazole-2-thiones were determined by X-ray diffraction.

A method for the synthesis of 2,5′-dioxo-3′-phenyl-5′,6′-dihydro-4′H-spiro[indoline-3,7′-thieno[3,2-b]pyridine]-2′-carboxylic acids was elaborated based on the three-component condensation of 3-aminothiophenes, Meldrum’s acid, and isatines.     

Magnetic microstructure of nanostructured ferromagnets

The magnetic microstructure of nanostructured ferromagnets is an ensemble of stochastic magnetic domains—regions with sizes of the same order of magnitude as the length of magnetic orientation coherence. It is shown that the magnetization saturation curves can be used to determine the size of an element of the micromagnetic structure (stochastic domain size) and the effective anisotropy in this element, the size of a nanostructure element and its local anisotropy, and the dimension of exchange-coupled ferromagnetic nanoparticles.     

Fe nanowires in carbon nanotubes as an example of a one-dimensional system of exchange-coupled ferromagnetic nanoparticles

The cooperative phenomena revealed in the field and temperature dependences of the magnetization in a system of iron nanoparticles in carbon nanotubes were studied experimentally. The character of the temperature dependences of the magnetization indicates that the ferromagnetic Fe particles in carbon nanotubes are exchange-coupled. In the region where the magnetization approaches saturation, the magnetization curves reveal the power dependence ΔM～ H^?3/2 typical for a one-dimensional system of exchange-coupled ferromagnetic nanoparticles.
